Tumblr

After the era of social networking and blogging, microblogging sites are on the rise. We have covered three trending microblogging websites that provide the easiest and time-saving features.

Yesterday, blogging platform Tumblr released its first official desktop application on the Mac App Store. The app allows users to post to their personal Tumblr blogs from anywhere on the Mac, whether that's content like links, images or videos you stumble across online, or files you have saved locally to your computer.

Facebook has brought an update to its "Facebook Home" and now has added more content to its lock screen. The social networking company is now integrating Flickr, Pinterest, Tumblr, and Instagram with its Android launcher for more user engagement.

Over the past few months, Tumblr has been stuck in a dilemma - one section of users want the ever-increasing porn on the platform banned for good; the other half is rooting for the freedom of speech argument. Notwithstanding, the company has now launched an initiative which, for now, aims at making porn based on Tumblr, hard to access.

Yahoo recently bagged the popular blogging site, Tumblr, in a rather sizable buyout raking in more than a billion dollars. The buyout has been criticized by many, although Yahoo has vowed to keep Tumblr as awesome as it has been. According to reports, Tumblr's Creative Director has now decided to quit the company.

Facebook 'Notes' have been around for nearly as long as the social network itself. In Facebook's early days, Notes really did take off, but they have declined in popularity in recent times. Facebook may be on its way to regain its audience by overhauling 'Notes' and pitting it directly in competition with Tumblr.

We have been hearing for a while that Yahoo was in the process of trying to finalize an acquisition deal with Tumblr. It now seems that the deal has finalized and Yahoo has bagged the social media giant for $1.1 billion. The company promises that it would not 'screw up' Tumblr as a result of the acquisition.

Micro-blogging platform and social networking website Tumblr has been hit with another sweeping outage. Last Friday means on March 29, the blogging service went down for roughly three hours before quietly coming back online.

The popular micro-blogging service Tumblr brings a new version of their app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad device. You can easily manage your blog through your iOS device from anywhere using this app. The latest version of this app is 3.0.0 and available in App Store for free.
